Chapter 0074: March

Time flies, half a month.

The living range of intelligent beings in the world of Azeroth is basically distributed in areas with easy access to food, away from harsh environments that may be dangerous and uninhabitable, and in this regard, it is similar in any world, as long as people who are not stupid will go for profit, and the consideration of interests rises to the national level.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron is a feudal kingdom of nobles and lords.

The clear laws within the kingdom limited the commoners from leaving the land of birth at will, and while ensuring the status of the nobles and lords as natural exploiters, the castles of the nobles' centers in each territory were used as dots, and gradually spread out in all directions, that is, cities and villages of different sizes and sizes.

How many humans are there in this world?

Wu Hao once thought about this question, but it was difficult to come to an exact conclusion.

There are extraordinary powers in this other world that I have crossed over, with idealistic and mysterious abilities such as magic, divine magic, and the power of nature, but because of talent or acquired limitations, it is cultivated and strictly protected as a war force, and ordinary civilians at the bottom cannot enjoy any benefits at all.

War is a contest of the vitality of a nation, that is, the sustainable supply of people and goods.

No matter how powerful the profession is, it needs food to survive, and the people who produce the living materials are civilians, according to the ratio of military and civilian in the European and American Middle Ages in the previous life, even if the land of the Lordaeron Kingdom is fertile and rich, but the kingdom of the lord and aristocratic domain system will not be higher than the ratio of 100:1 when it breaks through the sky.

That is to say, 100 civilians can support one soldier.

Including the aristocracy, this proportion will only be smaller.

At present, there are three major legions directly under the royal family in the kingdom of Lordaeron, as well as the private armies of various nobles and lords' territories, and the middle and small nobles are omitted, and there are at least more than 4 million soldiers in the whole country, and these soldiers are completely out of production, only consuming materials and money and not providing any output.

According to the ratio of 100:1, the kingdom of Lordaeron has at least 400 million people.

"It's scary to take it seriously." Wu Hao was directly stunned when he first came up with this data.

Don't look at the previous life, just take out a first-tier city, there are tens of millions of people, I think that the number of millions, tens of millions is not much, modern cities are a great use of three-dimensional space, some dozens of high-rise buildings cover an area of thousands of square meters, but can live the same number of residents, if these people are all put into the bungalow, the area is very terrible.

Otherwise, how could there be a proverb, and the number of people is tens of thousands all over the mountains.

Fortunately, the territory of the Lordaeron Kingdom is vast, and Wu Hao estimated that the area of the Tirisfa forest alone may be much larger than that of Sichuan Province in the previous life, otherwise it would not take half a month to run from Brill to the north shore of the Chehai Sea, and it would take nearly two months to rush to the vicinity of Banier City.

The Second Orc War devastated the kingdom of Lordaeron, and more than sixty percent of the kingdom fell at one time.

Even if the war is won now, the population base that died in the war is not so easy to make up, not to mention that the war of hundreds of thousands or millions of people will no longer happen, and hundreds or thousands of orc remnants will still appear from time to time in various lands of the kingdom, but most of them are concentrated in the western and eastern Lordaeron regions, as well as the Silver Pine Forest, Hillsbrad Hills, Alterac Mountains and other areas bordering other human kingdoms.

The biggest problem in Tirisfard Glade right now is the defector forces.

The country, which could have fully housed more than 400 million civilians before the start of the war, is now even more desolate after the devastation of the war, and although refugees have been relocated in recent years, and the aristocracy and royal family are also vigorously repairing manor farms, the scene of a few decades ago when you can see a few kilometers of farmhouses and wheat fields is still gone.

"It's boring." Wu Hao licked his lips and asked boredly, "What do you think?" ”

Madeleine blushed and didn't speak.

It was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the location was a gentle windward slope in a hilly area, Wu Hao and Madeleine rode together, Madeleine sat in front and grabbed the reins to control the direction, Wu Hao sat in the back and leaned on her back, one hand habitually reaching into the flank of the huntress's obviously artificially pulled loose leather armor, swimming and groping in her front chest and lower abdomen.

The two are on a reconnaissance mission.

Early the next morning of the bonfire celebration in the middle of the night, Wu Hao, who was sleeping soundly with Madeleine in his arms, was grabbed directly from the bed by Marlan and counted down, to put it simply, it was to tell Wu Hao that last night's agreement was not counted, and the 50-person team could only be left to Wu Hao to lead by himself, and now the army immediately set off for Wu Hao to lead the team.

The captain is only a position, and the army belongs to the royal family, not someone's private property.

The level of position in the army, the number of soldiers in the hand, directly determines the status of an officer in the army, the vast majority of officers unless they are transferred from their posts, they will pinch their own sources of troops until death, where will they not care at all like Wu Hao, and take the initiative to ask for the right to give to others.

There are no express military regulations restricting such mergers.

But where there are people, there are fights, and the army has a unique culture, but it is still an important part of the human kingdom, and on the surface it seems that a junior officer has been given command of another junior officer, but in fact, in the eyes of the superiors, it is very likely to be understood that the position of this junior officer has been wrong.

It is the bloodless struggle that is the most terrible.

All fought from the squad leader to the position of squadron leader, and after a few years of military camp life, Marlan also had a certain amount of city, and the drunken gaffe was more because of the joy of seeing old friends, and immediately realized that something was wrong after waking up, so he immediately rushed over and broke in directly to pull Wu Hao off the bed and wanted to return the command.

There was also a hiccup in the meantime.

Maybe it's because she was complained by Wu Hao the night before, when Marlan broke in, she has always been treated as a real pillow by Wu Hao, and Madeleine, who hugged each other and fell asleep every day but didn't break the last relationship, took the lead in jumping out of bed and coming in to stop it, if it wasn't for Wu Hao, who was woken up, and stopped in time, the two women would have a hand-to-hand fight.

"Yes, I didn't hurt you in vain." After that, Wu Hao privately praised Madeleine.

Wu Hao, who is just here to experience the war and doesn't want to do it like this, what's the use of asking for that group of waste?

You've already thrown the mess out, how can you take it back right away?

Marlan and Wu Hao argued fiercely for a while, and quickly lost in Wu Hao's sharp words, and took out the posture of the former eldest sister of the student group, saying that he wanted to have a good martial arts with him, Wu Hao of course would not be fooled by all kinds of excuses, and finally forced him to take a few steps back, and was made a vice captain by Marlan Zhuangding.

The vice-captain is not a position, but a name for directing on behalf of the team.

Squad, squadron, brigade, column four levels of military establishment, the highest officer of the team can appoint 1-4 deputy captains, the appointed deputy captain can have other major positions, the name of the deputy captain is used to manage a specific group of people directly under the commander, what to manage, how many people to manage are decided by the team commander.

Wu Hao is now the squad leader with only one herald, and the deputy captain of the Marlan team in charge of the scouts.

The squadron has 10 scouts.

The scouts are all hunters, and in the past half a month after becoming the deputy captain of the escrow team, Wu Hao has an intuitive understanding of these hunters, which are eight shooting hunters and two survival hunters, and the so-called distinction here is naturally Wu Hao's pronoun, specifically pointing to the major direction of professionals who are similar to different talent departments in his previous life.

The task of the scout is to scout the terrain and detect the enemy situation in advance.

Becomes ranged lethal during the scorching hours of combat.

It is not an easy task to march with many people, it is not something that can be operated in practice if you know the theory, and it also requires a lot of on-the-spot changes and combat considerations, such as the army of about 250 people after the merger, and set up camp in the evening every morning, during which the march is convenient for practice, and the specific distance to go and where to stop must be planned in advance.

It's just peacetime.

If the war years are continued, in addition to the above reasons, the speed of marching every day, the extent of maintaining physical strength; Halfway to receive a call for help, encounter the enemy and engage in contact battles; whether to attack if the battle went well, which part of the people attacked, and which part of the people covered; After a disadvantage or a rout, preset rally points, escape routes... And so on, it is very cumbersome and complicated and needs to be formulated in advance.

"In the TV series and movies in the previous life, it was too simple." Wu Hao felt a headache just by listening to it.

Without a detailed plan of marching, it is impossible to deal with most possible situations, and the greater the number of people, the lower the margin for error in the battle, and one of the root causes of many defeats and retreats that could have been planned turned into large-scale routs, resulting in extremely heavy casualties and tragedy, is that the battle march plan is not strictly formulated, and the commander takes it for granted or is incompetent.

Commanding an army in battle is undoubtedly also an ability.

It is not the end of the sentence "follow me", before saying this sentence, it is necessary to carefully and carefully formulate a plan, war is not a game or a game, the power in the hands of the army commander has only one chance, and any small mistake will bring extremely terrible and catastrophic consequences.

"No wonder you're so miserable." Wu Hao was very sympathetic.

In the past ten days, Wu Hao has seen with his own eyes that Marlan is completely busy from morning to night, leading the troops forward when marching, supervising the quality and completion efficiency of the camp when camping, as well as the protection of important camps, and waiting for the end of the camp The soldiers who are not on duty have fallen asleep, but as the commander, he has to make a plan for the next day's march.

"Study hard, you'll need it later." In the face of Wu Hao's sympathetic words, Marlan responded with a smile.
